Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Sink repair at your home in New Town
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. We are often asked to fix cracks around the tap holes or waste and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools, across ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

What affects the price in New Town
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the entire basin
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Landlord and trade work in New Town

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Repair chips before they stain
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
